NARS Chihuahua Lip Gloss

I have had this on my wishlist for ages, but was somewhat debating on if it would particularly look good on my skin tone, since many nude lip colors tend to wash me out due to my pale coloration.

I was debating between Chihuahua and Turkish Delight, but after doing a little big of reading, I feel that Turkish Delight seems to be flattering on slightly darker skin tones than my own, and I was not overly impressed with the way it seems to look applied in the blog reviews I have seen. With that said, I picked up Chihuahua on Sephora with my 20% off VIB discount!

Chihuahua is a very flattering shade, and I would consider it an ideal color to accompany a smoky eye, especially if you have a pale coloration. I have rather dark pigmented lips naturally, so I really enjoy the contrast of this gloss.

Chihuahua is described by NARS as being a “sheer guava toned” gloss… I find ‘guava’ to be an accurate description for color itself, although this is more opaque on me than it is sheer.

Below is a comparison side-by-side of Chihuahua and Orgasm glosses. The base color is nearly identical, but as you can see – unlike Chihuahua – Orgasm is full of those little flecks of golden glitter that we either love or hate!
